St George’s residents have their day

It was a case of David, albeit a collection of rather wealthy ones, getting
one over Goliath as residents of St George Wharf yesterday won their
decade-long dispute over service charges.

A division of Tony Pidgley’s Berkeley Group and Peverel, which is owned by the
Tchenguiz family trust but is now in administration, are on the hook for a
“seven-figure sum” after settling out of court. Residents of the swanky
address, where penthouse apartments with a view of Westminster go for
millions, had argued that the charges of at least £5,000 each were
unreasonable.
